I used to want to change the world, now I just want to point and laugh

Floating

I like walking down my quiet street and closing my eyes as I head along the footpath. It gives me a sense of space and weightlessness... defying gravity, kind of. There is a certain recklessness to it, safe recklessness, pussy recklessness, sure and a certain trustin the unknown, in my remaining senses, all at the same time. I can almost feel them pulse the moment my eye lids slide shut. It feels cool, kind of like floating, or drifting in time and place. There is that sense of gliding, skimming through the air.Floating. Close your eyes and jump. Take the leap. Let go.

About Me

I write about my life and my friend’s lives – all names have been changed. I write about a, predominantly, gay world, not that all lives are 100% gay, or 100% straight, any longer. We’ve come a long way, our enemies haven’t defeated us. We will get equality. We will get gay marriage, (which will probably, for the most part, just set us up for gay divorce) It’s inevitable.
I make the occasional social and political comment, but it only attracts a loony, fringe element, generally. Besides, I think we are screwed on both fronts. The environment is going to take care of that – sins of the fathers and all that.
I write fiction. My dream is to be a fiction writer. I don’t think I have any other dreams. I think I’ve used them all up.
I am a pacifist who believes if you throw bombs at people they tend to throw them back. It is basic maths, really.
I am an atheist who thinks all religion is the enemy. You only get one life; myths, stories, superstitions do not give you a two way bet. Live your life and be happy, it is the only chance you get.
As Kerry Packer famously said, after a near death experience, I have been to the other side and there is nothing there.
